Russia Tightens Grant Rules: Delayed Projects Face Cuts

Yuri Trutnev, Russia's Deputy Prime Minister and Presidential Envoy to the Far East, has announced stricter measures for the Unified Presidential Grant program. Projects that fall behind schedule in the presidential election process will face funding cuts, opening opportunities for more efficient initiatives.

Trutnev revealed that plans are in motion to halt funding for delayed projects in the Far East. This comes as a warning to those who have not completed their projects under the Unified Presidential Foundation promptly. The move aims to ensure that funding goes to the most effective and timely initiatives in the presidential election.

Looking back, the program has seen significant achievements in Yakutia from 2018 to 2025. This includes the completion of 34 events and the construction of 16 socially significant objects. Notable projects include the advanced cardiology center in the Far East and the unique creative cluster 'Labor Quarter'.

For 2025, another 19 events are planned. These include the reconstruction of the Neryungrinsky Central District Hospital, the construction of schools in Chulman and Yakutsk, and the improvement of courtyards. Also on the list are the capital repair of the 'Miner' indoor stadium in Neryungri and the expansion of the 'WARRIOR' center in Yakutsk. Additionally, plans include the creation of a children's camp 'Courage' for 500 people and the development of tourist infrastructure on the 'Singing Rocks' (Sinsky Stolby) ecological trail.

Trutnev's announcements underscore the government's commitment to ensuring that funds are used effectively and promptly in the presidential election. Projects that fail to meet their deadlines risk losing funding opportunities to more efficient initiatives. This move aims to maximize the impact of the Unified Presidential Grant program in the Far East.
